Red Wing Lotus Vase, H 510
Answer: These can be quite valuable in mint condition. Damage in art pottery sends it plummeting. Even with damage, you might get $20 for this. Mint they are currently $150-200 for most shapes.
Convention Supplements

Each year the RWCS Executive Director works closely with the Red Wing Republican Eagle staff to produce our annual Convention Supplement. This resource is the main source of information during the Convention in Red Wing. It includes a schedule of activities, education session, as well as articles on what is going on in the Red Wing Collectors Society.
The Convention Supplement will be available online after the Convention. This information is available beginning with the 2006 Supplement.

2 gallon advertising crock Bause advertising and butter pail
Hi,
Thanks for your recent appraisals. I have a couple more items I would like your opinion on.
The first one is a 2 gallon advertising crock which appears to be Redwing. It belongs to a co-worker of mine. She is from northern Wisconsin and it has been in her family for many years. I think it’s a great piece! Sorry to say, it has a hole drilled in the base. ?
The second item is a butter crock which I acquired at a yard sale in Red Wing during last summers Convention. I recently was able to purchase the lid, which I believe is correct. The lid has a glazed over chip on the rim and the crock has 2 small chips on the base.
Thanks
Andy
Answer:
Andy, the 2 gallon advertising crock is a great piece. It is to bad that someone drilled a hole in the bottom of it. Value with the hole drilled $800 to $1000. Your Red Wing butter jar with lid and two small base chips, $175 to $200. Al Kohlman
Red Wing 5 gallon koverwate
Question:
Hello, my name is Maureen. I’d like to downsize my many decades of collecting, including crocks. I particularly like advertising and designs in blue. I’d like to start with my koverwate. It’s 10″ in diameter, a very blue 5 inside base, 5 holes in base, 2 on each side, and a very blue square on side, stamped koverwate with 6 following lines. No cracks or chips, 2 very light hairline lines(?) about 1 or 2″ long inside base, but very solid under base. Glaze is shiny, smooth, and the shade of all my stamped red wings. It’s coloring is very nice. I’d appreciate info on it’s value.
Thank you, Maureen
Answer:
Maureen, with the 2 very tight hairlines, your Red Wing 5 gallon koverwate would have a value right around $150. Red Wing collectors love their koverwates, however, they want them mint and even though the hairlines are tight and only 1 to 2 inches long, they are just that hairlines. I wish you well with your downsizing. Al Kohlman
North Star I gal albany glazed jar, signed
Hello Al,
I have not been able to find any information on this marked slop jar I purchased (small chip on base) … Also, I have an opportunity to buy a North Star preserve 1 gallon albany glazed jar, but I am not sure what to purchase it for … it does have two small chips on lip … Any info on value on these would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Douglas
Answer:
A one gallon NS jar would sell for about $225.
The signed slop jar is very difficult to find and valued about $800-1000.
Minnesota Stoneware Company 5 gallon birch leaf butter churn
I have a Union Crock that belonged to my Grandmother (lived in Gibbon MN). I’m trying to get some information on the age and it’s value (it has a chip in the top edge, shown in the photo). I believe she used this for making pickles.
Thanks
Mike
Answer:
Mike, your grandmother has a Minnesota Stoneware Company 5 gallon birch leaf butter churn that was produced between 1906 & 1909. With the small chip on the rim the value is between $150 & $175. Al Kohlman

10 gallon six inch Red Wing crock
Hello,
This crock was originally from my great aunt and uncle. I was curious of the age and value. I looked through your website and couldn’t find anything exactly like it. As you can see in the photos, it doesn’t have handles or an oval. Is it pre 1915 with no handles? It does have a hairline crack.
Thanks so much for your time!
